universally admitted that our common school law is defective â€” governor graham in his last message to the legislature says there is now no sufficient accountability for the expendi tures ofthe money or the effective admin istration of the system when it operates well it is rather owing to the public spirit and enlightened labors of its administra tors than any legal obligation upon them our misfortune however i.s that in many situations we can obtain no knowledge of its operation at all not more than two thirds ofthe counties at the utmost have reported its condition in them â€” except in drawing their shares in the distri butions made from the treasury does the act of 1848 remedy the evils pointed out above ? has the law received any material imporvement since that message was written ? the law has been in ope ration nearly ten ears the writer is of opinion that it has been recommended to every legislature since its adoption that il needed amendment or improvement â€” the acts relating to common schools have been amended and consolidated again and again the law is still objec tionable and so far as the knowledge of the writer extends it has failed in almost every respect to meet the expectation of its friends the people must become in ! terested in the matter it is a subject in ! , which every citizen of north carolina should feel deeply interested the leg !

that the establish i ! ment of an effectual school system will be ! thoroughly discussed by the press and ev j ery county in the state during the next ; canvass for the legislature legislators j should go to raleigh next winter instruc ted to spend less time in political discuss | | ions and prepared to establish a school j i system which will meet the wishes of an j i enlightened people and which will not be | supplanted by another at the nextsuccee 1 ding session the importance cf increasing our school fund will not be denied but this com munication will be principally confined ' to the question stated in your first no â€” | how are our schools to he supplied with j competent teachers v the investigation i ofthe subject is one ofthe avowed objects ! of your valuable paper the want of i school masters was pointed out by gov j ! dudley in his message to the legislature in 1843 as the most formidable obstacle to the future success of common schools though the act of 1s46 was passed in | reference to that object it has done little \ or nothing teachers must be educated â€” ' i there is an alarming deficiency here â€” j 'â– men who are qualified and they are few i will not teach in our common schools for | the small pittance destributed to each dis | trict the result is that the committee of , \ examination very often as ignorant ofthe j qualifications of a good teacher as the i candidates themselves who come before them have to give certificates to a por i tion of those who come btfore them and i probably not one be qualified as the law requires how are our schools lo be sup plied with competent teachers . the an nual income ofthe literary fund must be distributed among the several counties for the education of teachers let a normal school be established in every county in the state where poor and rich young men can be educated for teachers on condition that they devote a certain number of months a year to teaching or pay a cer tain amount for tuition let there be county superintendents district superin tendents and a superintendent of common schools lor the state at large if the school fund is not large enough to pay them let a tax be levied for that purpose on some ofthe nuisance which infest al most every community let each school district in its discretion by the vote of all tax payers at the ballot box ascertain what tax shall be levied for building school houses buying school libraries ifcc if the supply of teachers coming from the normal schools should not meet the de mand each district can in the manner a foresaid levy a tax to supply deficiency when the school tax is so levied let its collection be enforced by the board of superintendents in each county and not by the county court ii such a law or one similar to it should meet with the sanction of the legislature let it not be enforced until it is submitted to the voters of the whole state and approved by them the writer is a citizen of the state and one who feels a deep interest in the education of her sons and daughters â€” a law with the above features will in his humble opinion do more for the improve ment of common schools than any thing that has heretofore been done in the state he is the more freely impressed with that opinion from the fact that the idea of such a law has not wholly originated with him but that similar laws have been a dopted in those countries where common schools have long flourished in connection with this subject it is submitted that lhe object of free schools the education asamaiter of state policy of all the children of the state the poor as well as the rich requires and no doubt iheir efficacy depends upon the equal dis tnbution ol the school fund as directed j by the act of 1825 and re enacted in 1826 if the law remains as it now is the poor est counties in the state will receive less advantage from its benefits than those more wealthy the above suggestions have been has tily thrown together by one who is not
